Re: RFC 58 (v1) C changes.

Ugh, I'm being foolish. Let me clarify.

map { s/\r\n/ } @chomp_me;

would do the trick, for lists of things that need to be chomped. Perhaps
just a modification to the map function is needed, to support things like:

for(map { s/\r\n/ } $fh) {
    print;
}

or maybe bind chomp to a new prototype using map, to provide all the
functionality we're discussing: 

while(chomp { \r\n } $fh) {
    print;
}

I would give more detail but I'm wandering off of familiar ground. What
we would want is a replacement chomp function that takes the first
parameter (if any) as a regexp, the second parameter as a list (ie, @ary =
<$fh>), and unfolds it into a for loop, as such:

for(@to_be_chomped) {
        $_ =~ s/$regexp//;
}

return want(); # etc

I hope I'm being clear. :-P
